Gabriel Jesus Offers Encouraging Arsenal Injury Update as Arteta Receives Boost
Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus has provided a positive update on his ongoing recovery from a serious knee injury, offering a hint of a stopgap for Gunners suckers ahead of a busy season.
The Brazilian forward has been sidelined since January after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament( ACL) injury during Arsenal’s FA Cup home defeat to Manchester United.
It has been a slow and grueling process, but Jesus appears to be making steady progress.
While his return isn’t imminent, Jesus’ commentary suggests the 28- time-old is on the right track.
specially, he was absent from Arsenal’s titleholders League team, signaling that the club doesn’t anticipate him to be available for the early stages of their European crusade.
Speaking in Arsenal’s latest matchday program following their impressive 4-0 victory over Atletico Madrid at the Emirates, Jesus said: “I’m feeling great.
My knee is responding very well. I’m looking forward to being around the team again soon, to come back to do what I love to do. It’s been too long.

An injury like this, one that is so long, you split up the recovery periods into smaller timings.
So now I’m at the stage where I need to hold myself back a little bit because I’m doing great work outside on the pitches, but it’s tricky because I need to not rush myself too hard over the line.
When you can see the end, you mustn’t push too hard, keep my feet on the floor, and then as soon as the time comes, I will be ready.”
Director Mikel Arteta will be hoping for Jesus’ eventual return as the Gunners deal with a string of injuries.
Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard is set to miss Sunday’s clash with Crystal Palace due to a knee issue and could be sidelined for several further weeks.
Other absentees include Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke, who are both still recovering from knee injuries and are doubtful to feature ahead coming month.
Despite the lapses, Arteta’s side has looked redoubtable in recent performances, with the win over Atletico Madrid serving as a testament to their depth and attacking prowess.
suckers will be keeping a keen eye on Jesus’ recuperation, eager for his eventual return to the pitch.
